The hidden cost of the estate tax

FILE - In this July 12, 2016 file photo, House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wis. takes questions during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. Ryan is under fire from fellow Republicans upset with his messy political divorce from Donald Trump, with some threatening an effort to oust him. So far, the rumblings are limited and no one has advanced a potential replacement nearly as respected or popular among colleagues as the Wisconsin Republican. That suggests an uphill path to deposing Ryan, who was his party’s 2012 vice presidential nominee and could harbor White House ambitions. () (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
